Toy Orca Whale from the Rainforest Cafe

And again a memorable photo from London. This time it's a shot from the Rainforest Cafe. The cafe itself was great, of course, but one thing I loved the best was this toy Orca whale from their souvenir shop. Just a toy, really, but shot from a close distance it looked almost intimidating. It was an unexpected effect, but surprisingly rewarding, as I admire whales and want everybody to see what beautiful and powerful animals they are. Even as toys.

Turkish Ramadan Bread

Amazing Turkish bread that we had sometime during Ramadan. I'm not sure, but I think it is prepared ONLY during Ramadan. I was told that they add either cannabis or hashish into the dough, though there's no telling if it's really so, or it was a sort of joke. The fact is that the bread had an unusual taste to it, sweet and savoury. It was more like a kind of pastry than bread. And the shape is definitely like more like that of a bread roll. Should I call it spiral or twirly or snail? Anyway, whatever the shape, it was delicious.

Baker Street Station

Well, this is what my encounter with the iconic Baker Street was like. A bit anticlimatic, but that's how it turned out to be. I was in London only for a couple of days, so there was simply no time to see all the attractions. And sadly enough, this is how I'll remember the famous Sherlock Holmes's residence - a deserted underground carriage with a paper bag. Ah, well, that's the mundane reality for you. It's just there whether you want it or not.

Zeki Müren

The best ever.... It is for sure that there won't be anyone like him again.

Hitit Hotel in Urgup

I have never been in such an authentic hotel before and really wonder if this kind of figure on top of the entrance is what truly symbolizes hittite culture. I need to check it now....

The more you try to run away, the closer you get........

Cappadocia Mustafapasa

Such a nice view, isn't it? I'm used to being here, but it still is the best place I have ever seen...
